I think the fall just pushed it that little bit further. If the handlebars had been a bit more upright it wouldn't have happened. If the steering extender dead-eye had was on it wouldn't have happened either.
It's a but late for me but it might be worth it for others to check how close their bars go to the tank and modify accordingly if they wish to save their tank in the case of a fall.
That was my steering extender or bar risers, Simon. I think you got the jist of what happened and will adjust the bars accordingly. You might have to play around with different positions for comfort. Sometimes it might feel ok intially just sitting on the bike or going for a quick spin, but after a decent long spin you could find your position giving a bit of ache to the wrists. I usually carry the hex key with me to adjust the position if I need during a long spin.
